boy in giant bow tie

Cutest wedding accessory I've seen in a while! 

Mini man in a giant bow tie.... Shame we don't have one in our props department.

The other gorgeous accessory is, of course the flower necklace by Emerson Made

Photography is by Lucida Photography, who's blog you must go over and check out. They've just done the most adorable Mothers Day shoot with another super cute mini man.

Thanks so much Melia for allowing me to share your work x

My best friends wedding

Be warned: This post is picture heavy! I guess emotional involvement = severe lack of editing skills!

A wedding I've been meaning to share with you for a while, is that of my great mates Shannon & Terry. After many happy years together (some of which involved living with Steve and I) they were hitched at the stunning (and popular) Gunners Barracks, on Sydney Harbour.

Steve and I were so honoured to be their bridal party. One newly hitched couple plus one soon to be hitched couple = a whole lot of love and fun!!

All photos are by Nerida Mc Murray who I'm looking forward to working with again in a few weeks!

Mothers of the Bride and Groom, dressed so super stylishly. Great choice of colours.

Bridesmaid dress was from Matthew Eager

This was when I started crying. That look of love. Gets me every time.

Haha! Poor Shannon and Terry, trying to be romantic for the camera with your two mates hanging around teasing you can't be easy. You can see the little smirks on their faces......

Shannons dress was by Karen Willis Holmes. Having to travel from Perth for her fittings, the ladies made it all too easy, and the dress was perfection.

The obligatory girls hamming it up for the camera shot

 Showing exactly how honoured he is to be best man by whooping it up on a canon.

My boy is all class.

As fate would have it

I tend to find myself heading out on a lot of 'blind dates' in my job. Meeting clients, wedding pro's and even sometimes awesome twitter and blog friends, where the web world and real world come sliding into one excellent reality. I'm always excited to see which twist of fate brings a connection into my life.

Yesterday I met Marissa, who found me through the ever resourceful Ms Polka of Polkadotbride.

I knew it was fate as she suggested we meet at a super cool cafe called Clipper (have you been? You should, it's on Glebe Point Road and has vintage bikes on the wall).

Marissa is a photographer and runs a studio called The simple things studio, she also collects props (see...fate). And even has a cute little old red fire-engine for kids to play on.

Sun spotlight anyone?

Yup, she makes camera shaped cookies!

Um, excuse me? I NEED to pinch those cheeks! So adorable

Have a lovely weekend.... xj
